The Miami New Times reports that Miami venue moguls gave MAGA influencer Clavicular (Braden Peters) a dressing down after he and far-right “manosphere” influencers Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, Myron Gaines, and Sneako celebrated and sang Kanye West’s “Heil Hitler” at a Miami Beach club.
“They’re not really going for subtlety here,” said Bulwark podcaster Tim Miller while reviewing the widely circulated video of the event. “You can see, I think that’s Gaines just doing the full Nazi salute over and over again while they’re videoing themselves [in a van]. Nick Fuentes is in the back looking a little uncomfortable and chuckling.”
Later, the group took a table at Vendôme, a Miami Beach club, where they prodded the DJ to play more Kanye West songs so they could continue doing Nazi salutes, singing, and partying.
After the video went live, Vendôme released a statement condemning the incident, calling the video content and imagery “deeply offensive and unacceptable.” The statement emphasized that “Vendôme and our hospitality group do not condone anti-Semitism, hate speech, or prejudice of any kind.”
In the days following the incident, the 20-year-old “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular, who frequently uses the N-word and has been seen wearing a hat with the N-word written on it, refused to apologize for his actions, according to the Times. He maintained that “it’s just a song.” A week ago, he streamed himself in his Sprinter van dancing to “Heil Hitler.”
“You can ban me from clubs, you can s talk me on Instagram, but I’m not sorry about any of it,” Clavicular said on a livestream. “Not at all. Not even a little bit. F– the clubs. I would rather have free speech and the ability to make jokes and do content a thousand times over rather than being a little b– who you know has to censor himself and do all that sh– because if that’s what’s required to go into these dogs hit Miami clubs, keep me the f– out.”
However, it appears the ongoing bans hit a breaking point for the influencer. As he continued having difficulty partying in Miami, Clavicular sat down with David Grutman and Papi Steak owner David Einhorn earlier this week.
On his Kick livestream on Tuesday, Clavicular stated that he is no longer doing politics. Recounting his conversation with Grutman, he said, “I just said, ‘Look, I’m not trying to do politics anymore, and I would never want to be associated with politics.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, bro, of course. I’m here to mog. I’m here to lookmaxx. I’m not political whatsoever.’”
He later posted a photo of himself sitting at a table with the club owners on Instagram, captioning it: “No more politics, just mogging #kingsofmiami @davidgrutman @davideinhorn.”
There’s no telling whether the tension is truly resolved. The Times notes that Clavicular has yet to publicly apologize and continues to use the N-word, despite claiming he is not political.
